Solitaire
Play Solitaire free in your browser. The classic Klondike card game — build four foundation piles from Ace to King by sorting cards in alternating colors. No download needed.
How to Play
- Drag cards between the seven tableau columns. Stack them in descending order with alternating colors (red on black, black on red).
- When Aces become available, move them to the four foundation piles at the top.
- Build each foundation pile up in suit from Ace to King (A, 2, 3... Q, K).
- Click the stock pile (top left) to draw new cards when you're stuck.
- Move entire stacks of properly ordered cards between columns, and place Kings in empty columns.

Tips & Strategies
- Always move Aces and Twos to the foundations immediately — there's never a reason to keep them in the tableau.
- Reveal face-down cards as your top priority. Columns with more hidden cards should be cleared first.
- Keep columns open for Kings — an empty column is very valuable for rearranging cards.
- Don't move cards to the foundation too quickly if you might need them for tableau stacking.
- When choosing between two moves, prefer the one that reveals a face-down card.
About This Game
Solitaire is the Klondike card game that defined desktop downtime for decades. Build four foundation piles up from ace to king by suit, working through the tableau and stock to free the cards you need. Every deal is a fresh puzzle that blends planning with a touch of chance, rewarding patience and forward thinking. It is the quintessential deep-focus break: long enough to be absorbing, structured enough to put down the moment you have to get back to work.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the goal of Solitaire?
- Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles, each built up in a single suit from ace through to king.
- How do cards move in the tableau?
- Stack them down in alternating colours — a red six on a black seven, for example. Only a king can fill an empty column.
- Is every game winnable?
- No. The vast majority of Klondike deals can be solved, but a small fraction are impossible no matter how you play.
- Can I undo a move?
- The game lets you keep drawing from the stock and rework the tableau, so you can recover from most mistakes without restarting.
